Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 2 teaspoons room-temperature water, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups (205g) fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw)
  • 2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar

Crust:

  • 22 regular Oreo cookies (not Double-Stuf)
  • 5 Tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 6 ounces (170g) white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 16 ounces (452g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon (8g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature

Instructions

  • Prepare the Raspberry Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of room-temperature water with the cornstarch and set aside.
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook until the raspberries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Add the cornstarch-water mixture to the raspberries, stirring to combine. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
    • Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, either by pulsing in a food processor or placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
    • In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter, mixing until evenly coated.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    • In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until combined.
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
    • Pour in the melted white chocolate and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake Bars:
    • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled Oreo crust.
    • Spoon the raspberry sauce over the top of the cheesecake filling in a random pattern. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the raspberry sauce into the cheesecake for a marbled effect.
  • Bake and Cool:
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Let cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
    • Once chilled, cut into bars and serve.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can use store-bought raspberry sauce, but homemade will provide a fresher, more vibrant flavor.
  • The cheesecake bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • For a smoother crust, make sure the Oreo crumbs are finely ground before mixing with the butter.
